Further reasons for progress are: the awaken- ing interest in our work on the part of many citizens, our having more help, thus enabling each worker to specialize more along one line; and the continued esthusiasm of the working force. As the reports from the various bureaus will show, work started last year has been sufficiently developed so that results are noticeable, not who are not acquainted with our work. New lines of work have been started and will be continued until the results wanted are obtained. During the past year each employe ar had his desk and office hour in the rooms provided by the board. This has proven advantageous to the work in general. The office hours were a ringed so that someone was charge of the office from 8 a. m. to p. m.

The work of the department has progressed satisfactorilv during the Board and two part time employes to six whole time and two part time em- ployes should be extremely gratify ing to the commissiners, who are re sponsible for the growth. there will be ten employes, all told. The need of additional help has been Lrought about by the increased Lnowledge of existing insanitary con- ditions; the enforcing of laws gov- crning health matters; and the un- dertaking of new lines of work. far as possible each employe has | been detailed to one line of work in efficiency. | order to obtain greater This has not been possible owing to lack of help as, for instance, in the inspection of food stores. For four months past the two sanitary inspec- tors have spent five days of each week inspecting food stores. Today, W have a fairly good record of every | such store in the city so that the new store inspector, who will take up the work alone during the coming year, ill have the past records to go b "The sanitary inspectors will then de- vote their whole time to their own line of work, viz, one doing tenement house inspection, the other doing sanitary inspection in and about property other than tenement houses. The interest that each of you tak in the work of the department makes it unnecessary for me to outline the work undertaken by each one of the force. The reports appended hereto, show what each has accomplished during the year. Yet, in nearly every instance, such reports are hardly more than statistical and do not know the personality which each put into the work. During the year the Board heen called to twelve regular 1wo special meetings. Of the regular meetings called, two wanted a quorum for the transaction of busi- ness. In has and July the Board and its em- ployees suffered a serious loss in the | death of Commissioner T. E. Burns. His son was appointed to fill out the unexpired time. The scope of the work passed upon at the meetings was as follows: hearings given to milk dealers and plumbers, against whom charges had teen brought by the department; formulating and Tecommending either new laws or changes in the cxisting ones affecting our work; in- vestigating the need of new lines of work, such as, municipal control of slaughtering, store inspection, and securing whole time services of a plumbing inspector. Matters of in- terest to the department were dis- cussed at each meeting, The secur- ing of an appropriation for a muni- I cipal slaughter house was the result work on the part | of considerable of the board, and the advantages tc the Community from this one Cc- tion cannot be over estimated, Financial Report.

The value of the laboratory as an adjunct to investigation and control of certain cantagious and infectious aiseases is more apparent this year | than it was at the end' of last year, { This is due to the fact that the phy- siclans are coming to use it more and more as an acid in diagnosing, i thus enabling them an# this depart- | ment to assume an earlier to control over such diseases as diphtheria, ty- | pkoid fever and tuberculosis, than | they would have without such aid. | While your Superintena is stil] ing as bacteriologist, he | assis in the work by the welfare Nurse, who devotes the first houp | or two of every day of the month Contagious act- is greatly only to those interested, but to those | Next vear | So | " NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1916. M in assisting in the laboratory. In this way we are able to get reports to the doctors quicker than if but one alone were to do the work. During the year 1374 cultures Were examined for diphtheria bac- illi; 148 sputums were examined for tubercular bacilli; 63 bloods were examined for typhoid fever: 33 m cellaneous examinations and 671 samples of milk were examined chemically. It is expected that during this year take to make examinations of blood for diseases other than those men- tioned. The control of quarantinable dis eases by having such cases visited by the Welfare Nurse has proven most hielpful all around. At first the ob- ject of the department was mi understood by some of the phys cians, but the majority of the doc tors not only cases of contagion in order to give instructions regarding quarantine. ete. Our records include not only the kind of disease but ‘the number of cases reported by each physician during the vear, The system of from the throats a house in which was instituted after the Nurse was added to the department. Previous to the instituting of this method, all children in the same house were excluded from school. Now we allow such children to at- { tend school if their throats are ; diphtheria negative. Carriers of the | disease are often detected by vstem of taking throat cultures. During the past vear we have had one or more ‘‘carrier: under ob- servation almost continuously. The epidemic of measles that ha: been so marked during the past three months tends to show the need of perents awakening to the fact that this disease is not a simple, but a dangerous, , one, especially among patients under the age,of five years. The Town .Clerk’s records show that deaths from measles have occurred auring the present epidemic, It depressing to think that in all prob- ability these deaths would cecurred if mothers would sume that their children have measles some time or other. | One of the fatal complications of measles, which accounted for three | of the deaths, is diphtheria. A report of the number tagious cases occuring vear is incorporated in of the Welfare Nurse. Tuberculosis Work, I submit to you the full taking cultures of all children in not as- have to of con- during the the report report of | the Tuberculosis Nurse, in which she so clearly sets forth the scope of her work. Having some knowledge of the work she doing to alleviate the misery caused by tuberculosis, I cannot but be glad tht we have the opportunity to aid financially in many worthy cases. Yet, I am comn ing to believe that the method in vogue for caring for tuberculosis cases is far from satisfactory from | cither a physical or a finincial point of view. At present we give bedside care, and assist financially in caring for the patients in sanatoria. Many of the cases with which we have to deal are wage earners who, because of their illness, have been unable to | work steadily, if at all and, therefore, need both physical and financial help. In such instances, to merely place,the patient in a sanatorium at our ex- rense and leave his family without sufficient means of support tends to detract most of the good the sana- torium life might do, for the need of a contented mind is as essential as is fresh air in the treatment of tuber- culo In my opinion, the remedy is the establishing of some kind of an association as an insurance to take full care of such cases as re- ferrea to. I am convinced tuberculosis clinic cases could report to be checked up, and suspiciou s thoroughly e amined and re-examined and frankly | advised as to their condition. To case after case kept under obs tion by some practitioner while he waits until the germ is found: or to see tuberculosis cases treated malaria, bronchitis, etc., make: long for the time when they who should know will have the moral | | courage to state their convictions. | During the past two years I have seen more than one untimely death | among voung adults due to “waiting | for the bug to show up,” when, had the victims been given the benefit of the doubt, they would in ail prob- ability today be on the road to full | recovery. Thank Heaven, the | jority of the doctors in New Britain | are professionally broad minded and have the true welfare of the patient | at heart. But the man who con- siders his patients sense of feelings too sensitive to tell them they ahe tu- of the need of a to which arrested one bercular is not worthy to be in the | profession and the sooner he is brought to this opinion, the sooner | shall we have some grounds to hope | for tuberculosis control. Under the able guidance chief assistant, the sanitary investi- | gations carried on by him and- his | ussistant have progressed along many lines. His report shows a vast amount of work accomplished. The results of such work are far reach- ing, as it bears upon both the physical and moral conditions of our city. There is much work to be done to improve tenement house condi- tions, and the ones doing this work should have the encouragement of | every well thinking citizen, Both sanitary inspectors much credit for the assistance they have rendered in securing better sanitary conditions in and about food stores. of my deserve Plumbing Inspection. The Teport of the plumbing spector shows that the work of plumbing inspection increased over that of last year. Now that he is to aevote his entire time to the office of plumbing inspection, he will be able to give the work closer attention than previously, besides assisting the sani- tary department by giving his advice on matters relating to plumbing sani- tation. Proper plumbing inspection insurance agains ible ill- and monitary los from in- pos arising the laboratory will be fitted to under- ' 1 of milk, took kindly to such | diphtheria exists | Welfare | this | | contagious not have | for ma- | poor plumbing. I fear that too few people recognize the value of this work, Milk, Food and Mcat Inspection. The results obtained by the milk, food and meat inspector during the ten months are exceedingly gratifying. There has been a marked improvement in the sanitary con- dition in 'and about many dairies. Few people realize the obstacles he has met in getting these dairies cleaned up and certain dairymen to institute better methods in handling such as, putting in proper fioors, drains, hot water facilities, light and ventilation. He has made {requent inspections of the source of the milk supply coming into New Britain, and, during the ten months that the laboratory has been doing milk analysis, has sent in 671 amples of milk, and has personally taken up with the dealer any adverse findings He has been assisted in the I inspection of our 344 food stores and restaurants by the two sanitary in- spectors. After April 1st, 1916, store inspection will be divorced from that of milk inspection. This is as it should be, in order that the milk in- spector may devote more time to bettering the conditions surrounding the sources of milk supply and the dairies. Even then there will be enough work for a whole time em- ploye. I hope the time will soon come when that part of the charter re- rring to the requirements of the milk, food and meat inspector will be changed, thus enabling us to employ other than a veterinarian as milk in- spector. The need of a veterinarian | in the department is very real but he <hould devote his veterinary work, cows and meat, and @mong animals time strictly to such as inspecting and investigating infectious diseases The collecting of tamples of milk and the inspecting of the sanitary condition of city dairies could be accomplished just as well by a layman as by a veteri- narian: and the whole time services of a layman could be secured for the ime amount of money that we now pay for the part time services of the milk, food and meat inspector. A full time milk inspector is very much reeded in New Britain. Among other lines of work that have been under n during the vear is the spraying of some dumps and ponds in order to suppre: the breeding of flies and mosquitoes. Prosecutions in all cases have been brought only after all other efforts on our part have failed to secure compliance with our orders. I desire to speak of the work of our office clerk. Her work is rather unknown to those outside of the de- partment. Without her, I fear that the work would be very flat, for she has instituted a splendid system of ords and keeps them up. To her look for the records of each de- partment, except those of the tuber- culosis department. During the day she received requests for all kinds of formation, and she is sufficiently well versed in the work of each bLranch to enable her to give a sa factory answer to the ones seeking the information. In addition, she attends to all of our correspondence. With tlve growth of the department ! the number of records and amount of correspondence increases. Al- ready the work has become too gr to be kept up by one person and it has been necessary to employ ad- c¢itional help for a week or two from time to time in order to catch up with the bulk of the work. In view of the, fact that the work has now been established nearly two years and that we are to have additional help I feel that we shall be able to accom- plish much more satisfactory work during our third vear. I desire to thank the members of this board for the aid and encourage- ment given the employes in their work, and to acknowledge the as- sistance rendered us by other de- partments. Respectfully submitted, T. E. REEKS. Sanitary Inspector. Dt Reeks, Superintendent of Health, Dear Sir:—I have the honor to sub- mit herewith my first annual report of the Sanitary Department for the vear ending March 31st, 1916, JThe work in this department has progressed much along the same lines as last year, viz: Housing inspection, vard inspection and inspection. We have worked hard to better the sanitar conditions in tenement houses, and while we have met bitter opposition from some property owners whom we have had occasion to notify to have work done in or about their property, we have stuck to it and have succeeded in most cases. However, it has often been necessary to make numerous inspec- tions, (as many as twelve inspections have been made of some places) be- fore we accomplished which we start- ed out to have done, and in a few cases it has been necessary to bring court prosecutions. Five weeks were spent during the past summer in investigating the condition of chicken coops and run- ways, and as a result of this investiga- tion we have either eliminated or caused to be cleaned up a large num- ber of such places. The yards were inspected systemati- cally, one section of the city being taken at a time and at intervals of six week Because of such inspec- tion the yards are in a clean and sanitary condition, The general investigations of kin- dred nuisances takes up considerable time as the complaints are usually wide and scattered. Many of the complaints made to this office are spite complaints; not over fifty per cent. are legitimate. While all com- plaints are investigated this depart- ment takes recognition of only those which in their opinion are justifiable. Out of the hundreds of notices sent out, we have at present only thirty- eight uncompiled with, fourteen than last year and one hundred and five extended time, an increase of fifty-two over last year. This is to be expected as the work in this department is continually increasing, and it is only fair to expect that the number of un- a les with | proportion to the number of notices sent out. With the addition of another in- spector we shall be able to accomplish much more work next year, and I ven- ture to say that by the end of the next fiscal year we shall have a record of every tenement house in the city. At present we have a record of 974 tene- ment house: Below is found a summary of the sanitary work done during the vear: Garbage complaints, 552; garbage can ordered, 215; garbage can covers ordered 73; manure receptacles or- dered, 10; manure receptacle covers ordered, 4; defetcive plumbing or- dered repaired, 99; defective toilets or- dered repaired, new toilets or- dered, 173; light ordered installed in toilets, 80; ventilation ordered in- stalled in toilets 88; dwellings ordered connected with sanitary sewer, dwellings ordered connected with cit water, 11; outhouses and cesspools or- dered abolished, 49; interior of dwell- ings ordered repaired, 38; exterior of dwellings ordered repaired, 2; chicken coops ordered cleaned, 34; vards or- dered cleaned, 471; animals ordered removed, 148; overflow from ice-boxes ordered abated, 11; dumps inspected, 30; dumps ordered cleaned, 11; c pools ordered removed to close to hou tenements inspected, 382 tenements reinspected, 639; vards in- spected, 1889; vards reinspected, 1050; barns inspected, 6; barns ordered cleaned, 6; mosquito breeding places eliminated, 2; complaints received at office, 108; no cause for complaint, miscellaneous orders issued, 41; prosecutions, 13.

Thus a greater impression of responsibilit w made on both. The mother’s confidence was. invariably gained when she learned we ha dher child’s welfare at heart. Five hundred and fourteen (514) instructions were given regarding the care and protection of other children exposed to disease. The giving of practical demonstrations in hygiene have succeeded very well in some in- stances. While it is understood that work of a nurse is to give actual nursing care, she feels that her work is not half completed unless she has succeeded in teaching at least one member of the family the princivle of prevention. To instruct the family as a whole is often difficult. The ignorant attributing their mis- fortune to Providence, makes it necessary to teach over and over again the laws of sanitation; that dirt, foul air, and over-crowding means, sickness, suffering, and death; that contagious diseases must be quarantined. Often after much time in trying to make this point clear they will ask, “But wh did the first fellow get it?" or “They may as well have the disease, they must have it come time.” Quarantine: hundred and seventeen (117) were quarantined.
